Kiira Antenucci
Originally from Colorado, Kiira, grew up snowboarding, rock climbing, and kayaking with her family. After high school she took a gap year, traveling with NOLS to Patagonia, Chile as well as completing her EMT certification through Denver Health’s Paramedic School. Kiira graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a bachelor’s degree in Geology. Through her various pursuits in education, she deepened her love for the natural world and found her love of instruction and teaching. Kiira has been working as a Mountain Guide since 2019 and guides in Utah, Washington, and Alaska.
When she’s not guiding, Kiira can be found: Whitewater kayaking, skiing, trail running, climbing, baking, and so much more! Her main focuses continue to be split boarding and whitewater kayaking, maybe someday soon she’ll figure out a trip and a partner to link the two sports together.
